mode

160

An operating state for a program or device, especially
one that can be selected by the user. In many word processing
programs, you can choose between the insert mode, which
inserts whatever you are typing without deleting text, and the
overwrite mode, which replaces existing text with whatever
you are typing. In some programs the actions carried out by
the function keys change if you change modes.

mode

[MOE-dem] Acronym for modulator/demodulator.
A device that converts data from digital signals to analog signals and vice versa, so that computers can communicate over
telephone lines. Telephone lines are designed to carry the
human voice, and thus they transmit analog waves. A modem
must encode digital information as electromagnetic waves in
order to transmit it. At the other end, a modem must change
analog waves back into digital code so that they can be understood by the receiving computer.
Modems are serial devices; that is, they transmit data one
bit at a time rather than sending several bits simultaneously.
The speed at which modems transmit data is measured in bps
(bits per second), although the baud rate is also used. The format for the exchange of data between modems is called the
communications protocol, and the process of setting this protocol is called handshaking. There are several widely used
communications protocols, including Kermit, Xmodem,
Ymodem, and Zmodem. Communications software controls
handshaking, automates log-on procedures, allows access to
on-line services, and performs other functions to make data
transmission via modem easy and efficient. Internal modems
are on an expansion board that is plugged into a computer;
external modems are connected by cable to a computer's serial port. See table at communications protocol.

modem

A hardware or software system in which
each component, or module, can be replaced independently of
all the other modules. The opposite of modular is integrated;
in a system with integrated architecture, no clear distinction
exists between components. See also integrated circuit.

modular architecture

module

1. In software, a portion of a program that carries out

a specific function and may be used alone or combined with

161

motherboard

other modules to compose a program. Modules can be copied
and used in many programs, and new programs can be created
by combining existing modules in different ways with a
linker. 2. In hardware, a self-contained component that is
installed as a unit.
monitor The display screen of a computer and the case in
which it is contained. Monitors come in a variety of screen
sizes. A typical monitor has a screen that measures 14 inches
diagonally, but larger screens that can display full pages at
their actual size are also available.
, Monochrome monitors are able to display only one color
against a background, while color monitors are capable of displaying many colors. The more bits a monitor uses to represent each pixel, the greater the number of colors the monitor
can display. Analog monitors accept a continuous, or analog,
signal that allows them to display an infinite variety of colors,
while digital monitors can display only a fixed number of colors. Some monitors can accept either analog or digital signals.
The video adapter sends signals to the monitor and determines, within the limits imposed by the monitor's structure,
what the display will look like. The video standard supported
by a video adapter determines the resolution and colors that a
monitor can display. Also called video display terminal. See
also fixed-frequency monitor, multifrequency monitor, multi-

scanning monitor.
monochrome Of, relating to, or being a computer screen capable of displaying only one color on a dark or light background.
monospace font A font in which each character is given the
same pitch, or width. See also fixed pitch, proportional font.
motherboard The main printed circuit board in a personal
cOlnputer. It contains the CPU, Inain system memory, controllers for disk drives and other devices, serial and parallel
ports, and sOlnetimes expansion slots. The motherboard is
easy to recognize because it is typically the largest printed circuit card inside the computer's case, and the large CPU chip
is usually clearly labeled. An effective way to upgrade the performance of an older computer is to replace the Inotherboard.
